The 2016 Honda HR-V is a brand-new vehicle that slots between the CR-V compact SUV and the smaller Fit hatchback, melding the best traits of each. With its taller profile and available all-wheel drive, it is clearly the younger brother of the popular CR-V crossover SUV. Yet with its nimble handling, fit-anywhere size and flexible interior complete with 2nd-row "Magic Seat," the new HR-V can also be viewed as the Fit's SUV alter-ego. The 5-passenger HR-V marks Honda's entry into the subcompact crossover SUV segment, which is emerging with rivals like the Mazda CX-3, Jeep Renegade, Chevy Trax and Fiat 500X. The HR-V aims to do more with less and largely succeeds thanks to its easy driving manners, good fuel economy and bigger-than-you-think interior.
